Jul 28, 2017, by Chris
Nike has showcased some of the prototypes that were produced during the development of the next-generation Nike Tiempo Legend 7 football boot, revealing that they thought about adding a Dynamic Fit collar, tongue-less design to the iconic Nike Tiempo Legend soccer cleat.

Nike Tiempo Legend VII Prototype Boots
Here is the Nike Tiempo Legend 7 prototype soccer cleat with the Dynamic Fit collar.
The prototype that we are talking about is black, white and golden, just as the launch colorway of the Nike Tiempo Legend 7. However, whereas the final version of the Nike Tiempo Legend 7 boot comes with Flyknit in the heel area, these prototypes feature a low Dynamic Fit collar and a tongue-less design, while the rest of the construction seems to be identical to the old Nike Tiempo Legend 6. What does this likely means?
Nike's designer thought about adding the collar to the Nike Tiempo, while they decided against the collar in the end but created an all-new knitted Flyknit heel area for the boot.
Other prototypes show a totally blackout, traditional, full-leather Nike Tiempo Legend cleat, a Nike Tiempo Legend VII with an interesting sole plate as well as prototype that is very close to the final product but features a full-golden midsole instead of a white midsole (final colorway).

What If Adidas Made Barcelona Kits?
Kit collector and insider @memorabilia1899 has shared an intriguing concept imagining how FC Barcelona would look if Adidas were the club's technical sponsor. Despite Barcelona having a long-term partnership with Nike extended through 2038, the fantasy of the German sportswear giant designing the Blaugrana's kits continues to spark conversation among football shirt enthusiasts.
The Adidas Barcelona concept leans heavily into retro aesthetics, combining classic vertical red and blue stripes with the iconic Trefoil logo on the chest. A dark blue polo collar, styled with 'BARÇA 1899' detailing, is paired with gold-orange accents seen across the Three Stripes on the shoulders and the centered Spotify sponsor logo. The full look is completed by navy blue shorts and matching socks.
Would you like to see Adidas manufacture Barcelona kits in the future, or does Nike remain the perfect fit for the Catalan giants?
